Come Follow Me Back to the Room

"If you can't even manage your own household, how can you take on the world?"

Xu Mu's current goal was to settle his family affairs first.

Today was Friday—the day Ye Yu, his sister-in-law, would return home from school for the weekend.

And, of course, the day she would have to sleep in the doghouse.

If the Dragon King were to return and rank Xu Mu's offenses by how infuriating they were,

topping the list would undoubtedly be making his sister-in-law sleep in a doghouse.

His priority now was to improve Ye Yu's favorability toward him.

Using his Divine Eye, Xu Mu observed Mu Qingying standing before him.

Name: Mu Qingying

Identity: Teacher at Jiang City No.1 High School, female lead of The Dragon King's Descent.

Favorability: -80

Fate Level: 8 (Max: 10)

Seeing this favorability score, Xu Mu was speechless.

Was this villain really so brainless? Couldn’t he tell she had zero interest in him?

And to make matters worse, he was already married! If he wanted to chase women, at least get a divorce first!

"Xu Mu! Stop pretending! I’m warning you—if you keep this up, I’ll call the police and report you for harassment!" Mu Qingying snapped.

Others might fear him, but she didn’t.

Though the Mu family wasn’t as powerful as the Xu family, they were still a force to be reckoned with in Jiang City.

If the Xu family dared to move against them, they’d pay a heavy price too.

A line of black text appeared above Mu Qingying’s head:

[Favorability -4]

Xu Mu quickly checked his Justice Points and was relieved to see they hadn’t decreased.

Ignoring Mu Qingying, he spotted his real target.

He strode to the passenger side of his car, grabbed the bouquet of flowers inside, and headed toward the school gate.

There stood a girl in a school uniform—slender, graceful, with skin like fine porcelain.

Her shoulder-length hair swayed as she laughed with her classmates, her adorable dimples on full display.

According to the plot, this girl, Ye Yu, was no ordinary person.

She was even more calculating than her sister, capable of aiding the protagonist in murder without hesitation.

The fact that she could act completely normal at school despite sleeping in a doghouse at home spoke volumes.

"Ye Yu, school’s out?" Xu Mu called from a distance.

The moment Ye Yu saw him, her smile froze.

In its place was sheer terror.

Was this man really going to humiliate her in public?

Her vision blurred with unshed tears at the thought.

More than once, she had fantasized about a hero descending from the heavens to kill Xu Mu.

But fantasies were just that—fantasies. As the heir of Jiang City's Top Conglomerate, who would dare lay a finger on him?

[Favorability -7]

"Damn it!" Xu Mu cursed under his breath at the black text floating above Ye Yu’s head.

Just how much did she despise him? A simple greeting, and her favorability dropped this much?

He used his Divine Eye to check her stats.

Name: Ye Yu

Identity: Student, female lead of The Dragon King's Descent.

Favorability: -160

Fate Level: 9 (Max: 10)

Xu Mu couldn’t even fathom the depth of her hatred.

Mu Qingying’s -80 was bad enough, but Ye Yu’s score was double that.

"B-brother-in-law..." Ye Yu’s pale hands clenched tightly, her entire body trembling.

If not for her sister, she would never return home on weekends just to face this disgusting man.

School was her sanctuary—yet here he was, invading even this space to torment her.

Why doesn't Xu Mu just die!

"Here, I'm here to pick you up and take you home."

Xu Mu handed the flowers in his hand to Ye Yu and smiled at her.

Ye Yu felt disgusted inside, but she didn't dare not take them.

If she didn't follow Xu Mu's wishes, he might just slap her across the face.

"Th... Thank you, brother - in - law."

Ye Yu hugged the flowers.

"Wow! Xiaoyu, how come I've never heard that you have such a handsome brother - in - law?"

Beside Ye Yu was an ordinary - looking long - haired woman.

She was hugging Ye Yu's arm at the moment, wearing a lovestruck expression.

Xu Mu also sighed. His appearance hadn't changed; he was still the same as before.

He was 185 cm tall, with a delicate and clean - cut face. He was indeed a handsome guy.

But before, he had never seen any woman look at him with a lovestruck expression.

Perhaps it was because he was now wearing a Zegna suit worth more than 50,000 yuan and a Rolex worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Being tall and handsome among the rich, tall, and handsome could only add to the icing on the cake, not play a fundamental role.

Just being tall and handsome couldn't afford a bride price of hundreds of thousands of yuan and a million - level house.

"My... My sister just got married not long ago."

As Ye Yu spoke, she looked at Mu Qingying in the distance. She already had a general idea of the reason.

Xu Mu must have tried to give flowers to Mu Qingying, and when she refused, to save face, he gave the flowers to her.

"Let's go. We're going home."

Xu Mu said to Ye Yu.

"Okay..."

Ye Yu nodded gently, then forced a smile at her female classmate beside her. "I'm going back first."

"See you on Monday!"

The woman waved her hand with a beaming smile.

Xu Mu voluntarily opened the passenger - side door of the sports car, and Ye Yu got in gingerly.

She was afraid of getting something dirty and giving Xu Mu an excuse to beat her up again.

Xu Mu rushed to the driver's seat, not even glancing at Mu Qingying standing beside him.

He closed the door, started the car, and took off in a flash, all in one smooth motion.

He left Mu Qingying standing there, looking utterly bewildered.

...

Xu Mu listened to the roar of the sports car and marveled at the magic of the system.

Once upon a time, he couldn't even dream of buying such a car, let alone going to a Lamborghini 4S store.

But with the help of the system, he drove it very smoothly, as if he had been driving it for years.

Ye Yu hugged the flowers and sat silently beside him the whole time.

She had no idea what Xu Mu was planning.

Maybe because Mu Qingying had rejected Xu Mu, he held a grudge.

After they got home, he might just find any excuse to beat her and her sister.

[Favorability - 5]

Xu Mu looked at the black words floating above Ye Yu's head and was utterly speechless. He hadn't even said a word!

...

Jiang City East District was a wealthy area.

Even at midnight, there were security guards patrolling the streets here.

Xu Mu currently lived in the Jiangshang Villa Area in the east district.

Originally, he lived in the manor with his family.

But since he was married, Xu Shou asked him to move out and bought him a villa here.

Xu Mu drove the car into the garage below the villa. Besides the Lamborghini, there were two other cars here.

A Porsche 911 and a Cadillac Escalade.

After getting out of the car, Xu Mu reached out his hand to Ye Yu. "These flowers aren't for you."

Ye Yu quickly returned the flowers to Xu Mu. Of course, she knew they weren't for her.

They were for Mu Qingying.

"These are for your sister," Xu Mu said calmly.

"Ah?"

Ye Yu thought she had misheard. For her sister?

Xu Mu and Ye Yu came out of the garage together and walked into the yard of the villa.

On the grass beside them was a doghouse.

It was called a doghouse, but in fact, it wasn't that shabby. The doghouse was made of double - layer wooden boards.

It had a decent area. There was not only a single bed but also a small table.

With such a layout, in Yanjing and Hudu, you'd have to pay at least two thousand yuan a month to rent a place like this.

Letting Ye Yu live here was more of an insult.

As usual, Ye Yu walked expressionlessly towards her doghouse.

Xu Mu had said before that he didn't allow her to enter the villa's living room, and there were cameras in the living room.

Previously, her sister had secretly taken her in for a meal. When Xu Mu found out, he beat her sister up.

Later, when Xu Mu was not at home, her sister would cook the meal and come to the doghouse to eat with her.

Slap!

Xu Mu's hand gently landed on Ye Yu's shoulder. "Come on! Go back to the house with me."

Ye Yu's body froze.
